f'ooperstown pepEle arp all ':hvoke up'' on
the liquor question. The county commission
ers OF Griggs county for the past two years
refused to grant license, nevertheless tho boys
have continued to smile. Arrests have been
made at different times Of parties charged
with violating the law, but no convictions
have been made, the parties generally getting
aft on some technically. Last Saturday week
Rev. George B. Frost, pastor Of the Congrega-
tional church, made complaint against Nathan
Hifton, proprietor Of tho "Cooperstown Liter
ary Club" charging him with selling liquor.
The defendant was arrested and taken before
Justice Me|gard, pleaded not guilty, waived
examination, and gave bond in the sum Of
$500 for his appearance before the grand jury.
On the following Monday James Glass made
complaint against DR.. Newell, who keeps a
drug store, charging him with like offense.
The same disposition was made in this case as
in the previous one. Among the witnesses
named in tho complaint to prove the charge
were Rolef Berg, Julius Stevens, Nathan
Sifton, NJ. L. Ruggles, Joe Vallandigham, Rov.
6. B. Frost, F. H. Adams, John N. Jorgeusen,
n. L. Michaels, Rev. C. L. Westberg, Knud
Thompson, H. P. Smart aDd R. c. Cooper.
The complainant desired to subpoena about a
dozen more witnesses, but the district attorney
objected on the score Of expense, and this led
to a tilt between the district attorney and Rev.
Mr. Frost, the latter claiming to know more
about the law than the former. The town
seems to be about equally divided on the ques-
ton, and rich developments may be expected
when court meets next month.
